[74.05] New Structures Revealed Through 12CO and 13CO Mapping of the Perseus Molecular Cloud Complex

As part of the COMPLETE Survey of Star Forming Regions, we
have recently made extensive maps of 12CO and 13CO
emission in the Perseus molecular cloud complex. The maps
cover an area of almost 4 sq. degrees and contain ~150,000
spectra each. These data provide unprecedented spectral and
spatial resolution on such large scales and have extremely
high dynamic range, enabling us to detect structures which
have been missed by previous molecular line maps of the
region.

We have been experimenting with various ways to visualise
and characterise the complex structure which is revealed by
the maps, including new outflows, shells, ``fingers" and
``holes." Here we present a snapshot of some of these
structures, and discuss their possible origin.
